did  anyone else go to see grandmaster flash yesterday, he was amazing, and does anyone know where i can see the pics or even a video from his set ?

I watched the whole thing, it was amazing.  He's a demanding chap though and he spent too much time on the stage in the middle of his set, but apart from that I loved it.

He was quite possibly the highlight of my weekend. The queue to get in was massive, couldn't leave for a pee or I wouldn't get back in!!

Agreed my god he was so ace!

We watched rob da bank before him who was also completely brilliant and Flash was so good i would have stayed if it was not for soulwax! i was really disappointed to be leaving!

so much choice this past weekend, by no means a bad thing!

I didnt see the fuss on this guy, watched a few numbers, basically he played a Cypress Hill record with a record deck squiggle put through it and many false starts, I just didnt get it.

He is recognized as the first person to make the turntables an instrument, he done this by scratching, record deck squiggles and false starts. I know its hardly groundbreaking stuff these days but he was a d.jing pioneer back in the day when nobody had heard that kinda stuff.
Doesn't look like he's got much more tricks in the bag but it was a pleasure to watch the man himself do his thing, and everyone else seemed to enjoy it!

He did lose the flow of his set and I even saw some people leave when he was on stage stopping and starting the music but it was awesome.

I guess if you're not really in to that sort of thing and don't know the history behind it then you wouldn't get it . It was amazing to see him.


I got there about 20 mins before he came on and it quickly filled up , with a lot of people watching from outside the Rizla arena.

A definite highlight of the weekend for me, was right against the centre of the stage & even got a handshake from Grandmaser. Also amusing watching the stage invaders being rugby tackled off of the stage
